Avere wheels out fitter, faster filer accelerator

Latest edge box pumps out more data with haste, claims vendor

NAS accelerator Avere has introduced a beefier box to top its edge filer range – the FXT 5850.

Avere can accelerate file access in the public cloud with virtual FXTs, and also on-premises with its FXT edge filers. These front-end existing filers and can act as stonking fast read and write caches for them. As file workloads rise, with both more and bigger files, having a fatter and faster FXT makes sense.

We imagined it had an upgraded processor, a Skylake one probably, but,in fact the four systems all use the same processor type, an E5-2640v3, 2.6GHz 8-Core Haswell-EP - two of which provide 16 cores in total. These systems are not gated by compute power.

The FXT 5850 is available now but you'll have to contact Avere for pricing. ®
